The next day rumors spread throughout Mushroom Kingdom of Mario’s newfound ability with a sword, people far and wide want to know how good the skills of “Super” Mario really are. But Mario decided to turn everyone down…he wasn’t too confident in his skills. One after another people flooded to the Mushroom Kingdom from places like Rose Town, Yoshi’s Island, and the much uninhabited Forest of Illusion.

“I don’t understand it, Toad, Mario always said he disliked sword, then he just goes off and becomes one of the best swordsmen in all of Mushroom Kingdom! But, that just makes me adore him even more!” Peach gawked at how great Mario was. She let out a big sigh. “And he still hasn’t proposed to me! Grrrr! He always gets me so aggravated!” She turned around and looked at Toad pouting to him, hoping Toad could comfort her, but instead there was no Toad. “Toad, Where are you?” Peach went through the entire castle looking for him but she still couldn’t find him. She went to ask the Chancellor where Toad was…maybe he sent him on an errand. But the entire castle was empty; it was always empty like this on slow days. It wouldn’t be so unusual if Toad wasn’t missing…Toad was always there when she called for him. This was when she started to worry…She went outside to check to see if anyone could tell her what was happening, but the minute she stepped one foot outside, she plunged into darkness…

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! “I don’t want to fight anyone!! Go away!” Mario was very grumpy, the knocks woke him up. He sat up and looked around, forgetting he slept in the living room. The night before, he had come in very weary that night. Jynx decided to surprise him with a little sneak attack from the remote that he snuck out of Mario’s pocket, and after he had just taken out the last Chargin’ Chuck, Jynx called out a whole bunch of boos, he couldn’t count how many, though. There was a trick to killing them too, he either had to do a back flip and slice down, or somehow stab him backwards and make contact, either way is inaccurate and difficult to perform. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! The knocking brought him to reality; he noticed he’d been day dreaming a lot lately. “I’m coming! But I’m not going to fight you!” Toad busted in totally unexpectedly and knocked Mario clear on his rump. “Mario!.” Toad was heaving in and out. “Mario! The castle! *heave* It just disappeared into nowhere! We all just fell from where we were standing! The princess is gone! And there are many injured!” Mario was taken aback at this, and just sat in silence. “Why are they injured?” Mario wasn’t thinking clearly. “There were people on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, mostly, they hurt their legs, but most importantly THE PRINCESS IS MISSING!!!” Mario, still absorbing the info just realized the love of his life was gone. “This must be the work of Bowser!!”

What will you do this turkey day?

GOD!! It was sweet :D I mean, man, it was the best one out so far, the acting the graphics and how well it followed the book.

I actually know someone who refuses to read the books b/c they're too lazy and hate reading. hehe. . .but I've already read all of them that are out.

I took Screech to see this movie recently, he told me that it was pretty good, but I'll let him post if he feels the need. :)

Hey, I've watched the weather channel, only when the storm specials came on. . .like "When Tornadoes Hit" or something. . .I've always had this innate phobia of tornadoes and big storms like Hurricanes. Specially when Rita came through, I was right on the brunt end of it. Yes, weather can be interesting, I just noticed we were posting about how hot or cold it is and got a chuckle out of it. hehe

I agree with Screech. Ever since SA2. . .I really haven't paid much attention to the Sonic Games. . .It just seems to me that they're just making stuff purely for the profit. I know that's the point of video games but is there no aesthetic value anymore?

Anyways, my favorite is Sonic.

I have a few friends that are homeschooled and I told them not to believe everything they saw in the movies about high school life, b/c most of it was BS. And to that they said "You just ruined my vision of how high school is". Such a pity that there actually are people out there who believe those movies, cause most everyone are friends with everyone. . .there are the occasions when people just don't . .. click for lack of better words.

High School life, in fact, couldn't be more dull for me if I had to watch old black and white movies with no sound. As a matter of fact, it would add some spice.

Well. . I can't say I agree with most of the opinions here about Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, it may not be incredible, but It was cool just for the story if anything.

My favorite right now is Madagascar simply for the Penguins. :D And the King. That was awesome.

Another one that's coming up is called . . .I think something like Cold Feet or somethign. . .It's got Robin Williams playing as a whole crapload of penguins. It'll be good for a couple hundred laughs.

Okay guys, this is a story that I really intend on continuing. I posted it hm. . maybe a couple of years ago. . .the writing style is incredibly immature for me, but you will see a transition as I continue to write. I'm gonna post it in increments so it makes it easier for you guys to read. Ah, and there will be no chapters for now.

It was Mario’s first time with a sword, and he didn’t know what to think. It was no problem fighting off the goombas, but he was curious how he would fight the koopas. He used the fire flower in his pocket to destroy the koopas. He wiped the sweat off of his forehead and for the first time, took in the scenery.

To his left sat Goombario’s house down the ¼ mile trail. The path was lined with strange flowers. Mario had never graced this are with his presence often; he decided this was the best place to come to train with Jynx. Besides, the enemies were weaker here, if there were any to appear without the remote. He looked to his right, and looked up at the sky where Bowser’s floating castle would’ve been, when he lifted Peach’s and his castle into the air when he stole the star rod. He realized he was just delaying his training, he let out a big sigh and pressed the button on the remote Geno had given him. “Hmmm…better start small with goombas.”

It was Geno’s idea to get Mario to train with a sword in the first place. He remembered what Geno told him when he received it. “This remote creates an illusion that is generated using the star power emitted rom you. You can create the illusion of ANYONE you’ve fought." said Geno, and after a brief pause to allow this information to sink he finished, "yes, including Bowser, so be careful. And always remember these monsters will be intent on killing you. If you ever need to terminate them, hit this button.” He pointed to a red button with an exclamation mark on the button on the bottom of the remote. “AND, don’t let it fall into the wrong hands. You know exactly who I’m talking about.” These words echoed in the back of Mario’s mind. It kind of scared him actually. Something, he couldn't put his finger on made him snap back to reality.

“Mario!!...Mario, snap out of it! We have to focus on your training if you want to get good with a sword. But the problem was he didn’t want to get good with a sword. Why don’t you try a few simple combos with your sword at first, like simple slice combos, like this” Jynx went through several motions, he slices sideways then hit with the butt of his sword, kicked, then came down with his sword. The small shrub he did that to remained in tatters. “Ok, here we go.” He thought of the enemy he wanted, a goomba, and pushed the red button six times, and took his clumsy stance. The warm wind blew his cap up, and almost off, his nose itched because his mustache was blowing too. He stood with his legs spread slightly apart and the sword in both hands, his style was sluggish and clumsy, but he easily took the first goomba with a single slice and it just dissipated into nothing. The next two charged him, and he got this sudden spontaneous burst of imaginative attacks. He spin jumped into the air while holding his sword down, kind of like a drill, bounced off of it, did a flip and came down with his sword. The next 3 goombas came all at once, quickly he used the spare feather he always kept under his hat, and spun with the sword held out, taking them all at once. The sensei was awe-stricken at Mario’s crafty performance.

(I will be continuing this, however I'm posting in increments to make it easier to read.)

My my, I'm really diggin this story. For some reason the funniest part to me was when you misspelled "Luigi" as "Lugi". B/c both are green and run. hah! no. . .seriously I've noticed a maturation in your writing style or at least your development of ideas. I've always enjoyed reading your stuff and personally believe that someday you should publish. :) Congrats and please continue writing!

It depends. Trainman couldn't have put it any better, here in Eastern Texas, the temperature is confusing the weathermen! Today I was sweating, tonight I'll be cold, tomorrow afternoon I'll be okay, this weekend I'll be wet. I stopped paying too much attention to the weather whenever the weathermen started spinning a dial to see what the weather would do. ;)

And on a side note. . .we're talking about the weather. . .strange, I thought only retired people did that :P

I agree with zeppelin, I work at Gamestop, and the PS3 just takes the cake for me. . .mostly because it's release date will be after the 360 and the developers will have time to look at the xbox 360 and improve on it. I do have to confess, I am a "sony-guy" but I love mario and nintendo almost as much.

Hm. I think that I wouldn't say the ps3 will be the only one, It will be the first. Then the 360. . .due to my lack of knowledge of the rev.

Well, I don't know what you look like, but I do know when a person has an attractive personality and yours is that. Whenever I say someone is "HAWT", it's almost always on an impersonal level. When I say someone is beatiful/angelic (heheh) it's on a very personal level and it's not to be taken lightly.

And over the couple of years that I've been here, I've read your stories, your opinions and stuff like that; you've (i'm trying to say this without it sounding like i'm hitting on you) got a beautiful personality. I would probably find you attractive if I knew you more regardless of how you look.

Hm. Well first long time no post :) Second I would say I'm inbetween. Regardless of my opposition of school cliques and stereotypes, they are there and most of them are right.

I shop at American Eagle Outfitters and wear nice GBX boots when I can. But I listen to Hard Rock, Emo (some), Punk, and grunge. In my senior class favorites I went up for: Teacher's Pet (barf), Best Hair, Best Butt (it got taken down b/c it offended some of the teachers), Most Musical, Best Smile, Best Eyes, and Most Likely to succeed. Personally I don't care if I get voted as any of them, I just didn't know that I was so popular among people. I hang out with the nerdy/artistic type ::coughs:: screech ::coughs:: and enjoy it, and I hang out with the drama group, and I hang out with the preps, and the goths, so pretty much I hang out with everyone when I can. I've taken part in three sports at my current High School and lettered in Tennis. So, I'm not sure what to define me as except Aron. (my name).

Yes indeed, stereotyping is a sad thing, however we can't get around it. (oh, i used to have this really long straight blonde hair so I was often stereotyped as a stoner/pothead and was called hippie on several occasions. not that i cared)

Peace and GO COWBOYS! :D
